The End Triassic Extinction, which occurred about 201.6 million years ago, stamped out three-quarters of all life on Earth, and has long been thought to be linked to the volcanic eruption of the ...

This particle Triassic period predator lived millions of years ago. However, its fossil could be a new door of understanding we haven’t previously been able to achieve.

A map of the Middle Triassic oceans and the archosauriforms described from eastern coastal settings (yellow dots), as well as the new species B. eremicarminis from the Panthalassan coast (red star).

The Triassic bite marks do more than indicate that a prehistoric creature was bitten. Spiekman and Mujal were able to use the markings to reconstruct how they think the two Tanystropheus were ...

These tanks of the Triassic came in a variety of shapes and sizes before going extinct around 200 million years ago. Today, their fossils are found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia.

Giving a glimpse of how ichthyosaurs, also known as "fish lizards", ruled the Triassic Sea, Loong Diving in the Ocean -- The Ancient Ocean in Triassic Guizhou kicked off at the National Natural ...

Tanystropheus, a strange marine reptile that lived alongside dinosaurs, has puzzled paleontologists since its discovery in the mid-1800s. At first, scientists mistook the species for flying reptiles, ...

But then, as the Triassic period was coming to a close, something happened. The earth went through a series of violent changes, ultimately wiping out all those rival lineages.

Pterosaur timeline Pterosaurs originated during the Triassic Period — well before the other two groups of flying vertebrates, birds and bats — and then died out in the same mass extinction ...

The Great Dying, or Permian-Triassic mass extinction, occurred around 251.9 million years ago, at the end of the Permian Period, after a series of massive volcanic eruptions (SN: 12/6/18).

This pushes back our understanding of when Turnersuchus lived by around 15 million years, though there remains a ghost lineage that we've yet to find in Triassic-era substrate.
